At least 40 undercover police officers, informants, and federal agents monitored the Proud Boys on Jan. 6, 2021, a new federal court filing alleges.

Proud Boys defendant Dominic Pezzola filed a motion on April 5 seeking to compel federal prosecutors to “reveal all informants, undercover operatives and other confidential human sources [CHSs] relating to the events of Jan. 6.”
